1. Overview
--------
ZWave Commander is an ZWave Controller Client for the iPhone/iPod Touch and is a native iPhone application
that allows you to control your ZWave devices anywhere in the world. Ever wanted to close the garage door
while lying in your bed? How about turn the outdoor floodlights on but didn't feel like walking back downstairs
to turn them on? Now you can! All you need is either a ControlThink USB ThinkStick device connected to your PC or a
Qhorus QHOR_ZWX10BR and ZWave Commander will allow you to control all your ZWave devices.
ZWave Commander consists of two pieces...a server piece which runs
on your PC and the client piece which runs on your iPhone or iPod Touch. The server piece included here is
called ZWaveCommander.exe and is critical to using ZWave Commander on the iPhone.
The purpose of this program is simple: to allow control of your ZWave devices from your iPhone/iPod Touch with
the touch of a finger.
2. Features
--------
-> Control your ZWave Devices from anywhere in your house.
-> No "line-of-sight" needed to control ZWave Devices
-> No special expensive ZWave remote needed.
-> You are already using ZWave Devices and already own an iPod or iPhone so now you can take it to the next level!
3. Installation
------------
SERVER:
-> Simply copy the ZWaveCommander.exe somewhere on your PC where you have your Zwave Controller module and run
CLIENT:
-> Simply download the ZWave Commander app from the Apple AppStore
4. Quick Start Guide
------------
SERVER:
* Start ZWaveCommander.exe on the PC
* The main screen will display the PC IP Address which you will need for the client setup.
If you are using Vista it is the IPV4 Address you need like 192.168.1.101
CLIENT:
* Go to the iPhone/iPod Touch Settings application
* Find the section for ZWave Commander and navigate to it
* Enter the IP Address found in the steps for the Server
* You won't need to change the port unless you received an error on the Server so leave it at 6004
* Start the ZWave Commander iPhone application. It will find and connect to ZWave Commander running on your PC!
TROUBLESHOOTING:
* If you get an error that your Port is already in Use you can change it in the EXE
* If you cannot connect to ZWave Commander PC Server and you know you have your IP and Port correct make
sure you do not have Port 6004 blocked. Make sure you don't have any Firewall software blocking
ports too.
5. Configuration Options
---------------------
* Some options are only configured by editing the ZwaveCommander.exe.xml file. MAKE SURE TO STOP THE EXE FIRST!
5 - To change the device polling interval
true - True for Farenheit, False for Celsius
4 - To change the max simultaneous connections
6. Connect over 3G/Edge Network
---------------------------
* To connect from outside your home over the 3G/Edge network please follow these instructions:
